EVERYDAY'S ART

Dear Amelia,

Who is an artist? Just people who can draw and paint well, struggling to live a better life. From where you're from, artists doesn't make a fortune. Even though people were discouraging you from being one, I know you've always wondered how they did that, miraculously. I remembered how hard you've tried, but it just never worked out.

Well girl, you've got it all wrong. Everyone can be an artist. Produce something wholeheartedly and you are actually making art. Music can be an art. A writing can be an art. A dance can be an art. Make-up and hairdo can be an art. Baking a cake can be an art. Creating flower pots out of used plastic bottles can be an art. Putting up LEGO pieces can be an art. Even arranging your living space is an art.

So, everything you do, make good art out of it. The satisfaction is everlasting.
